Holiday schools will be given as a support for the individual child in 2 areas:

A system of workshops addressing both academic and self growth , life skills has been put in place. The workshops will facilitate issues around values, beliefs, goals and commitment.

These workshops will be held during school holidays as a support system to assist the child to get through the normal educational school curriculum.

Academic - It has become known that an alarming amount of Orphans are not passing school in a positive way. This is not only harmful to their already fragile self esteem but does not facilitate the progressive movement to get them to enter tertiary education. There have been so many changes to the education system in South Africa in recent years that teachers are not coping with the syllabus and therefore the needed knowledge is not being passed on to the learners.

The workshops will focus on learners in Grades 10 and 11 and 12. In time we hope to expand to Grades 6, 7 and 8 and 9. We will initially focus on Gauteng/Soweto and Pretoria / Attridgeville, Mamelodi . . Each group will have highly trained teachers making the experience not only successful academically but also interactive for all.

We encourage top Grade 11 learners from private schools to assist the "master" teacher in order to create a way of learners from more advantaged schools to interact and "give back" to less advantaged learners.

We focus on English, Zulu, Afrikaans, Mathematics and Science/ Biology, Accountancy.

We hope to grow this programme each year by at least 60 learners as the students rise in the grades so younger ones will be taken into the Grade 10 program. This will then be cyclic and educationally totally sustainable.

We intend this project to develop quickly into different holiday schools all supporting Orphans during the holidays making sure that their pass rate is of a much higher standard, giving them a head start for their tertiary education.

We intend starting holiday schools for grades 1, 2 and 3 so that the foundation phase is developed with strength and understanding.
